A Buddhist and Christian Look at Life After Death

A Buddhist and Christian look at Life after Death The XIV Dalai genus Lama and Heschel views on the stages of shoemakers last. In each religion every one dies a different way. I wanted to write about deportment after death because everyone has their own interpretation to where we go when we die. No one re everyy knows the true answer until we die and then what? The question that is raised today is which religious concepts of emotional state after death should we follow? In my paper I will talk about how His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama and rabbi Abraham J. Heschel address the concept of life after death from their faiths.In Buddhism, Buddhist does not believe that during their lives they do not live and die once, instead they are a part of a perpetual cycle which is known as samsara. Samsara nooky bring many births, deaths, and rebirths all according to how karma is played out in their lifetime. A persons karma can play a very important role in a persons life as to what their nex t life will become. The exactly way that Buddhist can become free from the cycle of samsara is by grasping a state of nirvana. When I hear of heaven or paradise, I often understand it as a place where a person goes to after they have died.However, Buddhists believe it is possible to dwell in nirvana or state of bliss, when still alive. My interpretation of this is that our experience in life when reaching nirvana can be a heavenly experience. In order to reach the state of nirvana which is a state of enlightenment one has to have removed all the desires which promote selfish attitudes, like, greed, hatred and etc. and the idea that all things in life do not change. By doing these things Buddhist has to come to the realization of The Four Noble Truth and practice The Eight Fold road (48).
